Hmmm, trying to run xdvi give me
dyld: Symbol not found: __XEditResCheckMessages

Trace/BPT trap
libXm.3.dylib is from openmotif3-shlibs-2.2.3-11.

Drat: rebuild of openmotif3 complete, still same error running xdvi.

Looking back, your first guess (and Dave's reply) were completely correct.
My xdvi-motif.bin takes __XEditResCheckMessages from (xorg's) /usr/ X11R6/lib/libXmu.6.dylib

OK, I am compiling tetex-base from source...I expect it will be tomorrow (my local time) before I can report whether this works.

Tetex-base compiled much quicker than I thought...xdvi now basically works, but I managed to get a spectacular crash out of it by doing something I don't normally do (navigating to subdirs and switching files from the File-open menu).

It produces more than 1000 lines of output into the xterm that launched it, the last few look like:

for font "xyeubt11" on line 1336 overrides previous entry.

I don't think I do have a core dump (at least I can't find one in the obvious places like the dir I ran it from, or ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter).

The file it crashed on probably isn't special, I can view it OK if I open it first rather than second. And I can reproduce it on other *.dvi files I already have. To try to reproduce this, do the following

1. move any ~/.xdvirc out of the way

2. launch xdvi from your home dir

3. navigate to a subdir with more than one *.dvi file in

4. open one of the *.dvi files

5. select File-open from the menus

6. open a different *.dvi file

This is the point where I get the crash.

I do have extra font stuff installed via fink:

i applesystemfonts 1.1-1 Make Apple system fonts available to X11R6 i ec-fonts-mftraced 1.0.12-2 Sauter EC PostScript Type1 Fonts i fc-ghostscript-fonts 20050601-1 Add ghostscript fonts to fontconfig search i fontconfig-path 20050601-1 Add custom directories to fontconfig search i fontconfig2-dev 2.2.3-10 Fontconfig 2 for Gimp i fontconfig2-shlibs 2.2.3-10 Fontconfig 2, shared libs

 i      xfontpath       0.4-12  X font path manager for fink
 i      xfonts-intl     1.2.1-1 International Fonts

I expect I can avoid triggering this crash too often, but the font errors seem to occur sometimes without the crash, depending on which *.dvi file I open.
